Quote from Bob Rowshan:
** Busts up laughing ** What are you smoking nutten? Does anyone tell the truth on this site?
Please post a link to this "fantasy" bet nutten. Even better: i'll bet you $10K w respect to anything that involves trading careers. My accomplishments crush you in all aspects including 1) respect earned 2) $$ earned 3) accolades 4) performance 5) % returns, etc etc. etc. So name the bet nutten, we're all waiting..
I can't post a link to the bet itself, because someone had those specific posts deleted from the thread, as you well know (since you were reading & replying to my posts). However, to refresh your memory, you claimed that no one on ET had ever done better than your 5/6 trading calls you made on the "blue ribbon" thread. I disagreed and said several people had done better, and with real money not ET "trading calls". I then offered to wager $10k that I had account statements showing a longer winning streak, and urge you to accept this "free money". You did not take up the offer.
Here's the link to the thread, roughly where it got censored:

Bob Rowshan: "I guarantee you NO ONE can go 5 for 6 with results like I had, posting trades BEFORE the fact. If it's no big deal, why don't you try it right here? This challenge is open to anyone to post even a single blue ribbon trade. You have no clue how difficult it really is."
Me - "Now that's just bragging. Wrong as well, other people on here have done better than 5/6 and have done much better than 10% or lower profits."
I was referring to real money trades, rather than ET paper trade calls. However, I took up your challenge and made a blue ribbon call, nailing the January stockmarket lows to within an hour or two, posted right here on ET.

Now, onto your current "bet"/challenge. After you ignored my bet in January, I was informed that this was not the first time you refused a bet to back up your boasts, and that in fact you had prior alises on ET and had welshed and chickened out on bets with others. One victim of your welshing was riskarb/atticus. Here are the relevant links for everyone to see:

One of your aliases was James Stock, correct? If so (and he used the same habit of changing the first letter of someone's first name when replying - a dead giveaway), then that thread clearly shows that you made a $50k real money bet with riskarb, and then welshed. I also see that you made a $10k bet with waggie (now under the alias Landis82) and chickened out on that one too. Another poster brings up a PRIOR additional bet that you chickened out of. Does anyone see a pattern here?

So, I hope you will forgive me for not taking your bet offer seriously. I know that no matter how much $$$ you offer me, based on your past actions, you will welsh on the bet once it is clear you will lose, just like you did with riskarb/atticus and waggie945/landis82.
I encourage everyone reading this to peruse those threads that I posted up. This will show you the true nature of Rowshan's character. Quite why an offensive, attention-seeking, bragging, lying coward and welsher like this gets any respect from anyone is beyond me.

dude, you bit off more than you can chew here. Tell me where to meet you, and i'll see you at 6pm. BTW, i'm bringing an officer/police friend to make sure this is legit, and a waver so you don't sue me when I make you submit in less than a minute. If you got the balls and won't submit, your ankle will be broken.
I'm too much of a humane person to really injure you.
Corner of LaSalle and Eugenie, 6pm. You need a friend, pussy? That's fine, I'll be alone.

OK, now that I feel entirely foolish... Left the corner literally two minutes ago, James Stock was a no-show.
There was one big dude that walked past me twice, but didn't speak or even look in my direction.
In any event, you lost this round, peanut. Next time, don't let your mouth write checks...(you know the rest).

James "Crackhead" Stock was supposed to meet Riskarb at 6PM CST at the corner of LaSalle and Eugenie.
Guess what?
James was a NO SHOW.
Shocker!
I may have my own issues, ;-) but I'll swear on a stack of bibles that I did indeed stand on that corner for 25 minutes, from 5:50 to 6:15.
The guy JS has to be able to look himself in the mirror, that's punishment enough.
I'll be there tomorrow at 9am for one last attempt to meet.
I'm off to dinner,
riskarb."
